Can't see the video .. once again .. but I know which year was/is/will always be the BEST of all ... The year of ADAM LAMBERT .. Season 8 .. 2009!! After that year I just wasn't interested because ADAM was no longer on .. except of course for the yearly appearance of ADAM in one capacity or another .. singing/performing as a guest ... mentoring ... or as a guest judge .. then I made an exception & watched the one night!! When ADAM didn't win that year I knew American Idol was doomed!! BIG MISTAKE A I!!

Lambert Outlaw..not to worry. It was a disappointment. All it showed was the name "American Idol" spelled in different fonts (lettering) flashed on the screen one year after the other. I guess they changed the lettering often...never noticed/cared.

Season 8, of course. It changed my life. I hope the rumors about AI coming back are not true. I thing the singing show genre is on the way out. I know The Voice is hanging in there, but I really don't want to see AI try a comeback. I know some people would love it, but not me.

Dee R Gee... it changed a lot of lives...well, just look at us all here-- most with QAL tickets in hand. I'm sort of on the fence about it... American Idol was like a treasure hunt...or a Lottery (hope springs eternal). I feel sure I would watch it again.... at least to give the contestents a good chance.

Can anyone forget what it was like...the rush....of "discovering" Adam on AI?...and being ready on the edge of your seat to watch each week's episode? Where would Adam be now without AI? Where else could he have demonstrated that extraordinary voice, versatility and charisma that eventually caught Queen's attention? Does anyone believe that Adam would be touring with Queen without AI?...and also successfully touring with his own music as well? He just needed THAT exposure.

And I did enjoy checking in on Adam's judging in Australia, and his mentoring of THAT treasure, Isaiah, who, I feel, has a great future.

Problem is that no matter how good a contestant is on these shows .. there's always someone in the background who has already determined the winner ... as in ADAM's case .. Kris Allen? .. come on!! On AGT .. that 12 y.o. ukulele playing/songwriter? ... really?? On X Factor UK ... Saara Aalto left them all in the dust but .. she was foreign-born!! The only two that I felt deserved to win was Isaiah in AU .. and Alisan Porter on the Voice!! They were the best & for once the right ones got the title ... but like I said .. it's not often that happens .. so I'm not anxious for AI to come back & even if it does .. I'll only watch if ADAM is a guest on the show!!

Nanbert ... no baby yet but she's in the right position & my granddaughter is getting tired .. "I want her out now!!" I remember that feeling as the time drew near .. poor thing she also has an active 4 y.o. plus they just moved into a new place ... why do we do that? I did the same thing just before my daughter was born .. two days later .. she joined us & that was nearly 50 years ago .. can't believe my last baby .. a boy .. is going to be 47 this year!! TTYLLight 'n Love

Lambert Outlaw....I sympathize with your grandaughter... who can forget that feeling? Can't sleep well those last weeks....and then, after the baby arrives, can't sleep at all (it seems)for at least 2-3 more months!

But I envy you holding that little one in your arms...her perfect silky skin, compact little body, tiny fingers and toes...I get a case of "warm fuzzies" just remembering how it feels!

How time flies! Makes me think of that song.."Where Are You Going My Little One?"...."turn around and you're tiny.. turn around and you're grown... turn around and you're a young man with babes of your own"...Remember?... wasn't that a Harry Bellafonte song?

Nanbert .. can't recall the artist but every time I hear that song I get misty eyed .. can't help it ... My own babies are grown up & have grand babies of their own & the same is true for some of the grand babies I watched grow up into beautiful men & women. Now we're starting a new batch of babies .. and the wonder of it all is that I'm still here & able to enjoy them ... GOD has seen to it that I know & recognize my family even though I have grown a little feeble ... but no matter. Here I am at a computer still able to contact all my Sister Glamberts & share the good news with them & I can still appreciate the beauty of a sweet & gentle artist like ADAM!! What more can I ask for .. I already have everything I need .. even a loving husband!! I'm Blessed beyond all imagining!!

It's a wonderful world when you stop & count your blessings!! Oh!! and I can't forget my brother who has been a devoted Priest and always there for me at my lowest times for 47 years!! Light 'n Love

Lambert Outlaw.... Wow, a brother who's a priest, and a husband who's a Saint.... you travel in very influential company! LOL

BTW, I just came back from voting for Adam again in that 2017 Star Bazaar.TV Spring Awards poli, and Adam's total now is at 114! Strange poll!

You might remember...that thread was where we got into a very long, fun and heart-warming conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed... we had a few chuckles.

However, right after you left that thread to take care of your great-grandson, I was suddenly attacked "out-of-the-blue" by someone.... beginning with "The person above keeps rattling on and on..." etc! Weird!
